I was playing as Slaanesh and the other playing involved was playing Khorne... In the space there was a keeper of secrets upgraded with mind control, 2 Seductresses and 1 Daemonett. The 2 chaos cards in play were by Khorne, Blood Frenzey was in the east side slot and Reborn in blood on the west. He had 1 Bloodletter to oppose me, he was trying to stop me by killing my Seductresses so I didn't get the last advancement in my threat dial because there was a noble there. Now his east card activates "at the beginning of the Battle" to roll 2 battle die. But my keeper of secrets upgrade allows me to "control his warrior" at the start of the "battle phase". Would he still roll his 2 battle die according to the card ?Blood Frenzy? or is the whole battle phase and chaos cards null and void because I took control of his only warrior in play?
Thank you

Any of three species of nocturnal, arboreal primates in the family Lorisidae. Lorises have soft gray or brown fur, huge eyes encircled by dark patches, and no tail. They move slowly and often hang by their feet, leaving their hands free to grasp branches or food. The slender loris (Loris tardigradus) of India and Sri Lanka is 8–10 in. (20–25 cm) long; it eats insects and small animals. The slow lorises (genus Nycticebus) of South Asia and the Malay Peninsula eat insects, small animals, fruit, and vegetation. Nycticebus pygmaeus is about 8 in. (20 cm) long; N. coucang is 10.5–15 in. (27–38 cm) long. Habitat degradation and hunting have seriously depleted loris populations.

Watch Liam Neeson and Jimmy Kimmel Imagine a 'Taken 4′
Did you really think that the blockbuster 'Taken' franchise was over with the release of last week's 'Taken 3'? Come on, you know better than that. We all know better than that.
Watch Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake Pretend to Go to Summer Camp Together
Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake are pals. Like, serious pals. These guys make Apple commercials together, which is a true mark of friendship if there ever was one. On last night's 'Tonight Show,' the duo decided to team up for another round of, well, just whatever the heck it is these two do together.
'The Evolution of Dad Dancing' Is Here, and It Is Glorious
Well, this one pretty much sells itself. Jimmy Fallon unveiled a Father's Day-targeted take on his ever-popular "Evolution of Dance" on last night's 'Tonight Show,' and this one just hit it right out of the park.
"Fake Drake" Goes Undercover for Jimmy Kimmel, Faces Down His Haters
On last night's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' rapper/actor/apparent ESPYs host Drake gussied himself up and took to the streets to quiz people about, well, him. The results? A lot of weird opinions about Drake, who is so obviously the guy standing in front of these people, no matter his bad wig or worse shirt. Hey, at least there was some singing.
Watch Jimmy Kimmel's Star-Studded Fake Movie Trailers From the Post-Oscars Special
In a slightly dazzling post-Oscars spectacular, Jimmy Kimmel and took to skewering Hollywood's biggest night on his 9th annual 'Jimmy Kimmel Live: After The Oscars' special in the least offensive way possible – by asking some of the world's biggest movie stars to poke fun at the seriousness of awards season by starring in some fake film trailers based on fictitious films populated by popular memes of the YouTube variety.

Einstein is home to more than 2,000 faculty members working in research and clinical disciplines across 30 academic departments. In addition to powering Einstein's excellence in research and medicine, faculty members serve as mentors to the hundreds of students and postdoctoral fellows at the College of Medicine.
In 2012, the Faculty Interaction Committee (FI Comm) was created by the Einstein Senate to foster and facilitate communication among colleagues at Einstein, under the leadership of Dr. Pamela Stanley, professor of cell biology and The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Chair. "A key goal of FI Comm is to encourage collaborative connections between faculty members by organizing events at which research and clinical faculty can interact," she noted.
One initiative of FI Comm is its monthly Seeds for Collaboration networking session, which is noted on Einstein's online academic calendar and advertised widely. Snacks, drinks and casual banter lend an air of informality to the proceedings, where basic, social and clinical scientists and physicians mingle and discuss ideas.
At each meeting, three faculty members deliver a succinct overview of their work in a five-minute presentation, allowing other faculty in attendance to consider the potential for working together. Discussion follows during the faculty mixer.
At a recent meeting, Drs. John Reidhar-Olson, Judith Wylie Rosett and David Shechter offered an overview of their work that could be useful to colleagues. Their presentations were followed by a lively discussion among the several dozen faculty members in attendance.
"To date, numerous collaborations have resulted from seeds planted during exchanges at these meetings," said Dr. Stanley. "The meetings are a great place for ideas to take root and connections to be made.
She continued, "For example, at a Seeds for Collaboration last year, Drs. David Shechter and Lloyd Fricker realized that they were both interested in glutamylation; David in its effects on the histone chaperone nucleoplasmin, and Lloyd on novel enzymes that deglutamylate. David and Lloyd have now discovered an enzyme that deglutamylates nucleoplasmin and hope to write a joint grant application."
"The gatherings also provide newly recruited faculty members an opportunity to interact with senior colleagues who might serve as mentors as well as collaborators," added Dr. Adam Friedman, assistant professor of medicine and member of the FI Comm. "We're planning to develop a FI Comm website that can offer other avenues for connecting," he noted.
For more information on FI Comm, or to find out how you can present at a Seeds for Collaboration gathering, please contact Pamela Stanley by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Rush R et al. – The authors report two cases of fulminant toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis following intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) administration. Aqueous tap polymerase chain reactions were found positive for Toxoplasma gondii in both cases. In conclusion, IVTA administration can lead to fulminant toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis even when used with appropriate anti–toxoplasmic therapy. Extreme caution should be exercised while administering depot corticosteroids in eyes with panuveitis of unknown origin.

Heart-Shaped Bird Feeder DIY

Homemade bird feeders not only help our feathered friends, but making them is a fun family activity perfect for cold winter days!
5 Fun Things To Do in January
After a hiatus in December (I figured your calendars we just a liiiitle full), we're back with some ideas for this month.

Family Traditions: The Thanksgiving Feather Hunt
Thanksgiving Day is the perfect holiday for relaxing, catching up with family members, watching football and stuffing your face. However, those of us SWEATING OUR TUSHES OFF while painstakingly preparing the meal might agree to differ. Enter the Thanksgiving Feather Hunt!
Family Traditions: our Holiday Card Tree
The holidays are here, and like everyone else, we're trying to get ready. We were decorating, and I thought I'd take advantage of that Hallmark moment, so I asked my kids (ages 16, 14 and eight) about their favorite family tradition.
Family Traditions: The "Pink" Christmas Tree
In a feat never before seen in my life, a three foot by two foot section of my Christmas tree turned pink this year.
It was my own fault really, on the day I was married I was given a Christmas ornament by my neighbors declaring 2001 to be our first Christmas together. A new tradition started when I opened that little crystal charm on a red satin ribbon, we were going to be Christmas ornament collectors.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth at Paranoia Premiere
Miley Cyrus Stands by Her Man at His Big Premiere
Miley Cyrus showed her support for her on-again, off-again fiancé, Liam Hemsworth, when she attended the premiere of his newest movie, Paranoia, in LA last night. The Proenza Schouler-clad singer stuck close to her boyfriend as they walked the red carpet, occasionally breaking away so that Liam could mingle with his costars Amber Heard and Harrison Ford, who brought his wife, Calista Flockhart, and daughter, Georgia, to the big bash.
The premiere stop was a change of pace for busy Miley, who has been traveling around the globe to promote her newest single, "We Can't Stop," and her upcoming album, BANGERZ. Meanwhile, Liam has had a full schedule with press duties in both LA and NYC for his latest flick. With such hectic Summer plans, it comes as no surprise that the couple has put their wedding plans on hold. Miley's younger sister, Noah Cyrus, recently said that the couple "are not planning [their wedding] yet." Miley and Liam went through a bit of a rough patch earlier this year when the singer was spotted without her engagement ring. However, it now looks as if the young lovebirds are back on.

George Osborne
The former US treasury secretary points out to the Chancellor that while the US economy exceeded its pre-recession peak years ago, the UK is still catching up.
The Work and Pensions Secretary wanted welfare reform to be defined by Universal Credit. It has been defined by the bedroom tax.
By conceding that a large rise would not cost jobs or damage the public finances, Osborne has made it harder for the Tories to credibly oppose a more radical offer from Miliband.
The party challenges the Chancellor to veto any move by RBS to double the bank bonus cap under new EU rules.
If the spectre of Gordon Brown alone were sufficient to propel the electorate into Cameron's arms, he would now be governing with a majority.
Expect big cuts in housing benefit, the removal of child benefit from out-of-work families with more than two children, and a reduction in the benefit cap.
The Chancellor says he will prioritise further cuts to the housing benefit budget before making any changes to universal pensioner benefits.
Ministers have pledged to fund policies like the extension of free school meals and the freeze in fuel duty through extra revenue from reducing avoidance. But HMRC is struggling.
In an attempt to achieve an economically worthless but politically valuable budget surplus, cuts to public services will continue even once the structural deficit has been eradicated – this is unworkable.
The IFS warns that further cuts to pay could make it "increasingly difficult" for public sector employers to "retain and recruit high quality workers".

Lestsoaka to lead under-20 side
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Bafana Bafana assistant coach Serame Letsoaka will take charge of the South African men's under-20 side in a practice match against Malawi on Saturday.
The encounter at the Nike Football Training Centre in Pimville, Soweto will have 18 players in the squad.
Letsoaka will lead the squad in place of regular coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba, who is in Namibia.
Letsoaka has had to call up an almost completely different team to the squad that recently won the Cosafa Tournament in Lesotho with Mashaba.
"This is an important period for all our national teams as we have a very busy schedule," said Safa president Danny Jordaan.
"This past weekend we had Banyana Banyana playing against Zimbabwe and they will soon be going into camp to face Scotland away.
"We currently have the under-17 men's team in Namibia playing in a Four Nations Tournament. "
Next weekend, the Safa under-19 Youth Championship will be held in Bloemfontein.
"We might not see immediate results but this is a solid foundation for all of our national teams to participate competitively on the international stage," said Jordaan.

The Sundance Institute has unveiled a broad programme of screenings, panels and music events lined up for The O2 as its compact festival returns for a second year.
Tickets are on sale now for the April 25-28 gathering, which continues to the themes of 2012 with a focus on new works by independent film-makers and an exploration of the boundaries between sound and image.
Sundance London, which brought indie films and stars to Greenwich earlier this year, will return in 2013 and 2014.
Sundance president Robert Redford, who attended many events at The O2, had always said a repeat was down to the reception the export received.
The array of films and music events have been judged, if only informally, by the hundreds of people who attended the four-day Sundance London festival at The O2.
But the most important decision hangs in the balance - is it coming back?
Music and movies have taken equal billing in the Sundance London festival, which runs over the weekend, and an evening with festival founder Robert Redford and hypercool music maestro T Bone Burnett was the perfect confluence of the two art forms.
At his press conference, Redford had been keen to push both strands of the festival suggesting that a hybrid of the two was fast becoming the next generation of the artform.
The O2 in North Greenwich received a rousing endorsement from movie star Robert Redford as he flew in to attend the four-day Sundance London festival.
Speaking at a press conference in Screen 7 at the Cineworld cinema, he said: "This theatre - my God! We should be lucky to have a theatre like this. We don't come close to anything like this. Our venues include a converted library."

In most countries, Windows comes pre-installed on computers and the price is included in the hardware, even though this is now illegal. As for Linux, most people down-load their favourite Distro or buy cheap CD's from various sources. Also, most Linux packages never make it to the software market. The target is moving too fast for boxed sets. Again, the packages are on the Internet. Most Distros have packaging systems and repositories available to download most any package that runs on Linux tailored for that Distro. > What I am simply trying to do is inspire you to make a Linux that even an > Idiot can understand.

Basic is not favoured by most Linux users, as it should have died many years ago, and only M$ continued and expanded it, it's now mostly used by script kiddies to write macro virii. You won't find many Linux users even remotely interested in any form of Basic. As for Gates bashing, that is another sign of your newbie-ness. Yes, Gates has done much to slow down computer development to ensure M$'s dominance. But we all know that. It's a very dead horse to flog. It's kinda like saying 'Gee, isn't grass very green?' > Tino > However, welcome to Linux! I hope you find it useful and enlightening. Cheers, John Gay

So the relationship between guru and disciple is one of great trust, intimate love, reverence. But these things are not demanded. The moment they are demanded they become exploitation; the moment they are forced they become violent, because no one should force himself on anybody. It is not an enforcement on the part of the guru, it is a willingness on the part of the disciple to allow the guru to work.
But ordinarily, the disciple is unwilling and the guru is forcing. Then everything becomes nonsense. The moment the guru tries to force something on someone, it cripples, it destroys, it kills, because it is a violent act against someone else's ego. But if the disciple is willing, if he gives the guru his complete trust - if it is not forced, if it is his own willing surrender - then a great transformation happens: the disciple is transformed by his very surrender.
This is a very decisive act: to surrender oneself to someone else completely, totally. It is not just faith in someone else, it is basically faith in oneself. You cannot surrender yourself if you are not confident enough about your decision, because it is a great decision - total and unconditional. Whenever a disciple surrenders himself his will is involved, and out of his will a decision is born. The disciple becomes a crystallized personality through surrender because the decision is so great and so total, so absolute and unconditional.
No surrender can be conditional; there can be no condition with the guru. You cannot say, "If you do this then I will surrender." Then it will not be surrender. There is no "if" - you surrender totally. You say, "Do whatsoever you like. I am in your hands. Ask me to jump into a wall, and I will jump!"
This very decision to surrender totally is transforming and crystallizing. The attitude of the disciple is always one of total surrender. Then the guru is able to do anything because, through your total receptivity to him, you can be in communion with him. Then by and by you change.
The matter is delicate, it is very sensitive. To change a living being, to change a human personality, is the greatest, most arduous, most delicate thing. The human personality is so complex, it is in so much conflict, with so much that is suppressed and perverted, that to change it and to make it flower in ecstasy, to make it a worthy present for the divine, is the greatest art or science possible.
But you must remember that what I have been talking about always comes from the disciple, never from the guru. If it comes from the guru then Krishnamurti is right: then gurudom is one of the most subtle and destructive exploitations. But Krishnamurti is not right really, because surrender has never been a demand of the guru; it is a basic condition for discipleship. Without the guru or a relationship of trust, it is very difficult to progress spiritually. In fact, it is not possible.
There is every possibility that a person may flower without any guru, but that person too will have to surrender, he will have to trust - if not a particular person then the whole. The basic requirements must be fulfilled. Whether they are fulfilled in connection with a person or not is immaterial.

If your interest is education policy and federal spending on education programs, you probably found it hard to believe that Congress was in recess last week in Washington. On the Senate side of the Capitol, lights were on around the clock in both the majority and minority staff offices as they race to meet the June 11 deadline for a markup of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) reauthorization proposal. With negotiations between Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), ranking member of the committee, having ended, it was all hands on deck to produce two bills—one that would garner only Democratic support and the other only Republican. Given the Democratic majority on the HELP Committee, we already know which side will win, but it is fair to ask, "Win what?" A purely partisan education bill faces a very uncertain future on the floor of the Senate.
The situation was quite similar on the House side of the Capitol, except that the winning team there will be the Republicans. Education and the Workforce Committee chairman John Kline (R-Minn.), fresh from his student loan victory, has turned his sights on ESEA once again. It is unclear whether he will simply dust off the bill from the previous Congress or make amendments to the legislation prior to its introduction, in light of the new members on the committee. Regardless of the chairman's efforts, the Democratic chorus will be shouting "Nay" in unison. Ranking member George Miller (D-Calif.) is working on his own substitute amendment, which will similarly be endorsed by only his party and be rejected by the committee Republicans. In the House, however, the committee might not be the end of the line. If Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) wants to schedule time for an education debate, the bill is sure to pass with strong Republican support and few, if any, Democratic votes.
Which takes us back to the question, "Win what?" If Chairman Harkin was unwilling to move a bipartisan ESEA bill last year because he was unwilling to negotiate a House bill that had no Democratic supporters, then why would he want to take a partisan ESEA bill to the Senate floor for debate? It's a mystery.
Turning to federal education funding, the scenario is similar. The Senate Appropriations Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Subcommittee (LHHS), with its relatively generous allocation for FY 2014, is planning to mark up a bill in late July. With Democrats in charge, that bill will make it out of the subcommittee and through the full appropriations committee, but floor action in the Senate is questionable. The House LHHS Subcommittee faces a different challenge. In spite of an allocation that will force deep cuts (more than 20 percent) for the appropriations bill that is produced, the cuts are not likely to be drastic enough for Appropriations Chairman Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) to get enough Republican votes for passage. Instead, the most likely scenario is a repeat of the situation in FY 2012, when the chairman introduced a bill that was never taken up by the subcommittee but became the vehicle for an attempted conference with the Senate. Because no agreement could be reached, a continuing resolution provided a budget for the Department of Education. Sadly, this all feels like Groundhog Day.
The Administration's Proposed Preschool InitiativeOn May 29, the Center on Children and Families at the Brookings Institution and the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management hosted Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, former Congresswoman Nancy Johnson, and a panel of early education and policy experts who discussed the president's proposed preschool initiative. Both Secretary Duncan and former Congresswoman Johnson expressed optimism about a bill passing in Congress. From his positive experiences with governors of both parties, Duncan said that a bipartisan coalition of support for the bill can be built and that the largest obstacle ahead will be getting politicians to believe in the long-term benefit of the $75 billion investment. Speaking from her experience as a former member of Congress, Johnson said that she thinks there is a chance that the bill can gain enough support from the Republican majority in the House to pass. Johnson recommended that the "pay for" or tax increase provision to support the proposal be better explained in order to sway Republican members of Congress. Watch an archived webcast of the event.
Connected Learning The Alliance for Excellent Education recently hosted a webinar focused on "connected learning"—a framework that draws on the power of technology to link young people's interests, social networks, and academic achievement. The panelists discussed the research, design, and implementation of connected learning. "We can't predict what the jobs of the future are going to be. The way we educate now may not prepare young people for the workforce," one panelist explained. The principles of connected learning can be applied to existing programs and support stronger alignment of learning standards. More info
Department of Education Highlights the Work of i3 Grantees On May 30, the Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement held a briefing, "Investing in Innovation (i3) Three Years Later: How Grantees Are Successfully Improving Low-Performing School via National Reform Networks," to highlight the work of three i3 grantees and their program models. The grantees' models link individual schools to larger reform networks that provide support for implementation and place schools in "national communities of shared practice." The speakers focused on how their program models use research-based approaches, including data-driven instruction and a variety of collaborative activities among teachers and administrators to implement academic and social supports.

ED Announces Three New NCLB Waiver Approvals On May 20, the Department of Education (ED) approved three more requests for waivers from the most onerous provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), in exchange for state-developed plans to prepare all students for college and career, focus aid on the neediest students, and support effective teaching and leadership. The newly approved states are Alaska, Hawaii, and West Virginia. ED began offering waivers in the fall of 2011 in response to Congressional inaction on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which has been due for a congressional rewrite since 2007. Eight states— Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wyoming, plus the Bureau of Indian Education and Puerto Rico—have outstanding requests for waivers. Additionally, five states—California, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota (request withdrawn), and Vermont (request withdrawn)—have not yet requested flexibility. California has notified the department that the state does not plan to request ESEA flexibility for the next school year, and instead will focus on implementing the new Common Core State Standards. ED will continue its consideration of a separate request for waivers from the CORE districts in California. More info
Advocates for Literacy Highlight STEM Connection On May 20, the Advocates for Literacy discussed the link between science and literacy as well as the necessary preconditions for successful science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. The first speaker, Brenda Becker, superintendent of Hempfield School District in Landisville, Pennsylvania, explained that the focus in her district has been on "helping teachers become better at their craft," and part of this effort has been an increased emphasis on assisting teachers with data analysis. One result of the more focused look at data has been the recognition that at the secondary school level, students' comprehension of higher level math concepts is not the problem, but rather, their ability to read and understand actual math problems is the issue. Becker noted that secondary school teachers are taught little pedagogy in their preservice training because the emphasis is on content knowledge. Consequently, a portion of the Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy (SRCL) funds that the Hempfield School District received from the State's SRCL grant has gone to professional development in reading and writing for secondary school teachers. Specifically, this funding has allowed the district to hire literacy coaches and provide mandatory professional development workshops focused on 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, comprehension of high-level technical reading, and writing. Chris Bird, a veteran physics teacher at Fairfax High School in Fairfax, Virginia, added, "A single word can derail a whole math problem for students." He also observed that the difference between the best science students and best science research students at Fairfax High School comes down to a difference in communication skills. The student researchers have better literacy skills. More info
Report on Data Standards and Interoperability Issues The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) released a report on May 21 addressing the issues facing K–12 data standards and information systems, Transforming Data to Information in Service of Learning. In response to the need for a simple explanation of technical information for school administrators and teachers, the report aims to provide an outline of current improvement efforts and interoperability initiatives in a context that educational leaders can understand. In sum, the report serves to make this technical information more clear for educators in hopes that issues and initiatives can be more accurately addressed and implemented. At the report release, panelists presented their input on interoperability initiatives currently taking place in their respective state education systems. More info
Learning Forward Highlights the Common Core Learning Forward and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) recently hosted an event titled "Advancing Common Core: State Strategies for Transforming Professional Learning." The event featured opening remarks by Stephanie Hirsch, executive director of Learning Forward, who described how the featured state, Kentucky, had been chosen as the focus of the professional learning academy developed by Learning Forward, as well as the political and educational challenges facing states that are trying to implement the Common Core State Standards. She added that Learning Forward believes that teacher training and professional development must be transformed for this enormous effort to be successful. The purpose of the event, according to Hirsch, was to explore exactly how representative states are in fact collaborating to create what she calls "coherent systems of professional learning" that provide teachers with the tools they need to be successful. Hirsch introduced Kentucky commissioner of education Terry Holliday to talk about how the state had become engaged in early implementation of the Common Core and the partnership that had been created with Learning Forward. Holliday attributed the willingness of the Kentucky legislature to commit to the Common Core to its recognition of the fact that students had to be better prepared for college and careers in order for Kentucky to attract and keep businesses like GE in the state. The adoption of a more rigorous curriculum and a complete transformation of the professional learning provided to teachers throughout the state has helped maintain the interest of the business sector.

Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee Discusses STEM skills On May 22, Mary Landrieu (D-La.), chair of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee and ranking member Jim Risch (R-Idaho) held a roundtable discussion, "Bridging the Skills Gap: How the STEM Education Pipeline Can Develop a High-Skilled American Workforce for Small Business." Participants included numerous small business leaders and government employees. Senator Landrieu opened the discussion by asking the central question: What are the skills that potential employees need to support the growth and expansion of small businesses, and is the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744) a step in the right direction? Ranking member Risch discussed the importance of fostering an understanding and interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in children at an early age to build a STEM-educated U.S. workforce. Joan Ferrini-Mundy, assistant director of education and human resources for the National Science Foundation (NSF), noted the high attrition rate among students who begin college in a STEM field but do not graduate with a STEM degree. She said that NSF efforts to increase retention have focused on trying to provide students with high-quality teachers, engaging hands on activities, and real-life experiences through fellowships.

Observation as a Tool for Teacher Evaluations On May 22, the Educational Testing Service (ETS) held the event "Improving Teaching through Teacher Evaluation" to discuss the complexities of observation used for teacher evaluations. The event featured expert presenters who highlighted the history of teacher evaluations to support a better understanding of the current state of evaluations. Previous efforts have relied on checklists with infrequent observations providing teachers with little feedback that could lead to improvement. This system resulted in 97 percent of teachers receiving satisfactory ratings, a percentage that was clearly too high. Currently, efforts to evaluate teachers are based on multiple measures, including some sort of value-added method. Presenters noted that the goal of an observation system is to "guide the improvement of teaching and inform human capital decisions." Findings from ETS research supports two challenges that were discussed: (1) "observers vary in the consistency of their judgments," and although they gain accuracy over time, their observational results remain below "acceptable levels of reliability"; and (2) "the struggles observers face are systemic," in that principals do not agree with each other more often than master observers, and teachers and observers do not agree on the quality of their instruction.

Making Teachers Comfortable with Technology The Alliance for Excellent Education recently held the seventh in its series of webinars as part of Project 24, an effort to help school districts plan for the effective use of technology and digital learning to achieve the goal of career and college readiness for all students. This webinar, "Build Your People: Professional Learning That Creates a Teacher Workforce for the Digital Age," looked at the role of ongoing professional learning that can build the capacity of a teaching staff to implement personalized learning environments to prepare all students for college and a career. The participants shared lessons learned on how to integrate and embed powerful professional learning experiences for all teachers and staff. Watch the webinar.

Facit Homes' D-Process Creates Buildings that Snap Together Like LEGO Bricks
Posted By Lidija Grozdanic On June 7, 2013 @ 5:36 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,gallery,Prefab Housing,Sustainable Building | No Comments
Using D-Process [5], Facit Homes [3] designs each building on a computer in extremely detailed pieces which are then cut on a CNC router [8]. The building components are shaped into LEGO-like cassettes and are usually made from plywood, which is light enough to be easily assembled on-site. Thanks to the high precision of the process, costs and material waste are kept to a minimum.
Each home includes a thermal envelope that makes sure the house is air tight, conserving energy and minimizing heat loss [9]. Depending on the site requirements, an array of supplementary environmental systems such as solar thermal systems and photovoltaic panels can be plugged into the building to make it perform more efficiently.
Houses like Villa Asserbo [11] in Denmark and the Hertfordshire House in the UK are just a few successful examples of homes built using the on-site D-Process. In the case of the 200-square-meter Hertfordshire House, the home's heating system has the equivalent output of a single 4kW radiator, while the layout of the Villa Asserbo, built from 800 sheets of sustainable plywood [12], takes advantage of natural light and surrounding views.

Cashew Butter Cookies
Rich cookies become richer with cashew butter. Cookies can be baked so they are either soft or crisp.
- Yield: Makes about 22
Source: Holiday Cookies 2001, Special Issue Holiday 2001
- 8 ounces roasted unsalted cashews (1 3/4 cup), plus 1 1/2 ounces (1/3 cup) more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for shaping
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
In the bowl of a food processor, combine 1 3/4 cups cashews with canola oil, and process until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. (You should have about 3/4 cup puree.) Set aside until completely cool.
Coarsely chop cashew nuts, and reserve for garnish.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, cashew puree, and both sugars, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed, just until combined, about 20 seconds. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have ready two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and set aside. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough (1 1/2 ounces), and shape into a ball. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing dough balls 3 inches apart. Dip the tines of a fork in flour, and press into the dough balls to make vertical and horizontal indentations. Sprinkle reserved cashew nuts on top.
Bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and bake 6 to 8 minutes more, depending on whether a soft or crisp cookie is desired. Transfer cookies with the parchment to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

These cookies were a hit with my coworkers and family. I purchased the cashew butter from Whole Foods in their bulk section just because I didn't have the time to grind my own, but that was the only change I made.
hallward 17 Aug, 2011
Is there some place on this site that gives the nutritional values of the recipes? Before I decide to make this cookie I'd like to know the caloric, fat and carb values.
bawojtasz 15 Apr, 2010
Can anyone comment who has tried these cookies? Were they good.
merryrosen 12 Apr, 2010
Can anyone tell me if they have made the cookies and if they are worth trying?

i have the classic beehive osterizer blender. it came with an extra jar for smoothies and a mini-food processor bowl and blade. that's what i use to make bread crumbs and pie crust. you could use your blender to make the cashew butter.
mlr07005 12 Apr, 2010
Why is it that "Martha" ASSUMES that everyone wanting to use her recipes HAS a food processer!! Some of us like to do things the old fashioned way!
Raquel2011 13 Aug, 2009
Whatever, Martha. Just buy cashew butter--available at Trader Joe's and most health food stores.
MissRed 21 Mar, 2009
We can buy our butter in sticks in Canada too, All major groceries carry them. I buy lactancia unsalted.
carolhether 30 Aug, 2008
Helen, being from Canada I just cut the butter into four and use one for 1 stick. American butter is divided into 4 sticks. Our butter is sold in 454 gram blocks.
carolhether 30 Aug, 2008
Helen, I am from Canada where everything is metric also. For the butter when it calls for 1 stick, I just cut the package of butter into four and use one. As far as I know American butter is divided into 4 sticks which make up a pound, and a pound of butter is 454 grams here.
Henrie 11 Aug, 2008
to teapot mom, I always use the regular butter and just cut down salt to 1/2 of whatever is originally called for.
My question-what do you do when you don't have a food processor? -
misssherryd 10 Aug, 2008
Helen, A stick of butter is 113 g.
Joce_C 10 Aug, 2008
I have a friend who is allergic to peanuts and this includes ALL nuts, including cashews. Seeds seem to be okay.
hel 9 Aug, 2008
Hi,Can you please tell me how much 1 Stick of buter is in grams.I'm from Australia so all our measurements are metric.
Many Thanks
Helen -
c62783 9 Aug, 2008
Would anyone know if these might be appropriate to serve to people with peanut allergies (I would always let the allergic person know about the cashews first - just to be sure)?
LittleMachoo 9 Aug, 2008
Whole Foods sells all kinds of nut butters!
knitfreakfunster 9 Aug, 2008
Could I use olive oil instead?
teapotmom5 9 Aug, 2008
I notice many of the recipes call for unsalted butter. Can I use regular butter and leave the salt out of the recipe?
mrsmagoo2005 9 Aug, 2008
Could you use premade cashew butter instead of grinding your own?

Attention world!
It's that time of year once again (already?!) when the Master of Malt team are getting ready for yet another action-packed adventure at Fèis Ìle, the epic Islay whisky festival.
As ever, this is good news for you. If you're travelling to the festival yourself then not only will you be able to enjoy the wonderful company of Ben, myself and Alexandra at all of the distillery days, but there's also a chance to get your hands on some FREE 'stuff'!

It's all go over here at the moment and having recently launched the Reference Series, there is another exciting project or two just on the horizon, not to mention some much-anticipated new releases from That Boutique-y Whisky Company*. With all this going on it's fallen to me to tell you a little about yet another exciting release – our shiny, new 10 year old blend!
Some people still get their knickers in a bit of a twist about blended whisky, persisting with some kind of Orwellian mantra of "single malt good, blended whisky bad", but blends can be absolutely marvellous, and many are. Indeed, we've been encouraging you all to try your hand at creating your own with our Home Blending Kits and Blend Your Own Whisky service for a long time now, and I covered the subject on the blog last year when I had a go myself. (Don't worry, I had nothing to do with this new blend!)

Ah, David Beckham. What a fine figure of a man. And now one who's set to join the whisky industry as the face of Haig Club single grain whisky (from Cameronbridge distillery) as well as becoming actively involved in the marketing of the brand along with his manager Simon 'Spice Girls' Fuller. A couple of stories here then – massive celebrity endorsement of a Scotch whisky, and the planned launch of another single grain following William Grant & Sons' Girvan Patent Still.
You may have seen the Girvan range launch at the end of last year – it's the first single grain from William Grant, or the first official bottling from Girvan, or the first bottling "under the emblem" of the Girvan still... or something.

The Glenlivet is one of most popular single malts in the world, selling around 11 million bottles a year (they're second only to Glenfiddich in terms of overall sales) and is owned by Chivas Brothers (i.e. Pernod Ricard). It is perhaps because of these facts that Nàdurra was such a welcome addition back in 2006 – here was a very big player willing to extoll the virtues of bottling whisky at cask strength without using chill filtration, or adding caramel (Nàdurra being the Gaelic for 'natural'). It was also (and still is) matured exclusively in first-fill Bourbon barrels, with the batch number displayed on the bottle. The fact that it was/is a great whisky helped too, of course.
Fast forward to 2014 and The Glenlivet are giving the Nàdurra range a bit of a shake up with new permanent editions. Why only release a bourbon cask edition when they're filling spirit into other cask types? And so, last night, I came to be in front of a glass of The Glenlivet Nàdurra Oloroso, matured exclusively in first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks from Jerez. This first batch is bottled at 48% and will be available exclusively in travel retail (just as the first ever Nàdurra was back in 2005), but the real cask strength deal should be available around September/October time. Suffice to say we'll be stocking it as soon as we can! Excluding the Rare Single Cask Editions (which were second-fill), this will be the first exclusively Sherry cask matured Glenlivet "in living memory". And it's a Nàdurra. If you're thinking "that's pretty fucking cool" right about now, then you, Sir, are correct.

The Singleton of Dufftown recently launched two new NAS expressions. You may have seen them, they're the ones named after hot rod car paints fishing flies (in keeping with the Singleton logo): Tailfire and Sunray. The colours correspond to the flavour profiles of the whiskies, which makes it a little easier for folk who may otherwise find choosing from a shelf of single malts a daunting proposition.
The new releases are set to be celebrated at The Singleton Whisky Night Market on Thursday May 15th (18:30-22:30) down at Southbank, where they will be paired with specially made chocolates (Cocomaya), cheeses (Pong), and whisky marshmallows (The Marshmallowists) alongside theatrical presentations (no doubt involving the one and only Colin Dunn), comedy (Tom Sandham* off of Thinking Drinkers), some top grub (Forza Win and Mark Hix) and whisky cocktails from the excellent Andrea Montague (of Callooh Callay fame, now Diageo's in-house 'malt mixologist').

On 16th March five top London bartenders faced off in a fantastic cask-aged gin cocktail competition, which may also have been the best named event of all time!
Maverick Drinks had armed each bartender with a different gin that had been aged or rested in casks, all from their awesome portfolio. Following a preview tasting where this fascinating crossover category was discussed, it was time for the #ginsin main event held at Megaro Bar. The winner would be chosen by 7 'tasters' (they're the fun version of judges) and would subsequently win the opportunity to create their very own cask-aged gin, which will have their name and even their face on it if they really want. (The latter, it was said at the time, may actually depend on who wins...) There should also soon be a Gin, Sin & 5 Soaking Barrels Tasting Set from Drinks by the Dram we hear, so you'll be able to sample all of these eminently mixable aged gins for yourself...

You put the lime in the Ballantine's, you drink 'em both together, Put the lime in the Ballantine's, then you feel better, Put the lime in the Ballantine's, drink 'em both up, Put the lime in the Ballantine's, and call me in the morning…
Flavoured whisky, eh? Obviously not that though. What I should say, of course, is flavoured whisky liqueurs and whisky-based spirit drinks, eh? This one's a little different to many, however. First of all, it's not honey flavoured (or even cherry flavoured). Secondly, it's essentially made by actually steeping lime peel in Scotch whisky, in the cask.

Blimey, it's Friday already! A Valentine's Day Friday, no less! Well, today we only have eyes for delicious Irish Whiskey as we move onto the third and final instalment of this bumper blog post.
Back at the start of Part 1, I mentioned Teeling Whiskey Company's recently confirmed plans to build a new distillery in Dublin, the first in 125 years. This post will cover this and many other projects that could see the number of distilleries in Ireland double, treble, or perhaps even quadruple!
First though, I'll try to briefly run through some other news and developments, starting with the fact that in 2011 Beam Inc. bought Cooley, introducing another big player alongside the giants of Pernod Ricard and Diageo and leaving Ireland without an independent distillery once again (albeit briefly...).

Violence mars Goodluck Jonathan's win in Nigeria vote
Rioting broke out Monday after it became clear that Goodluck Jonathan had won the presidency, underscoring a deep regional divide between northern Muslim voters and southern Christians.
Joseph Penney/Reuters
Kano, Nigeria
On Saturday, Nigeria accomplished something that even four years ago seemed impossible: it held peaceful and legitimate elections.
Proving the skeptics and the fear-mongerers wrong, Nigerians marched to the polls and waited for hours in the blazing sun and stifling humidity to cast their ballots in the hotly contested presidential vote. But subsequent violence cast a shadow over Saturday's vote, which was widely praised as the fairest since the country abandoned military rule since 1999.
The vote pitted incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, a southern Christian from the oil-rich delta, against one-time military ruler and northerner Muhammadu Buhari. Mr. Buhari, who has staked his reputation on his sometimes brutal intolerance for corruption in a country rife with it, was strongly favored in the north, but Mr. Jonathan – who polled as high as 99.8 perfect in his home state of Bayelsa – took the victory.
The results of the vote indicate a deepening divide between the north and the south – one that President Jonathan, who rose to power when his predecessor died in office, may find difficult to bridge.
"All the northern states don't like Jonathan, that is the message clearly out," says Halima Ben Umar, a women's rights activist in the northern city of Kano who like many other northerners was dismayed when it became apparent Sunday night that Jonathan would win.
